[[Women in Film and Television International|Women in Film]] Executive Director [[Kirsten Schaffer]] said of Georgia and other states similar restrictive abortion bans passed in early 2019, “A woman’s right to make choices about her own body is fundamental to her personal and professional well-being. [...] We support people who make the choice not to take their production to Georgia or take a job in Georgia because of the draconian anti-choice law. To that end, we’ve compiled a list of pro-choice states that offer meaningful tax rebates and production incentives, and encourage everyone to explore these alternatives: California, Colorado, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Washington.”<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://variety.com/2019/film/features/abortion-laws-hollywood-studios-netflix-1203225843/|title=Netflix the Only Hollywood Studio to Speak Out in Attack Against Abortion Rights (EXCLUSIVE)|last=Low|first=Matt Donnelly,Gene Maddaus,Elaine|last2=Donnelly|first2=Matt|date=2019-05-28|website=Variety|language=en|access-date=2019-06-02|last3=Maddaus|first3=Gene|last4=Low|first4=Elaine}}</ref>

California Senator [[Kamala Harris]] held a [[Kamala Harris 2020 presidential campaign|2020 Democratic Party Primary campaign]] rally in [[Birmingham, Alabama|Birmingham]], [[Abortion in Alabama|Alabama]] on June 7, 2019. One of the messages she talked about during her rally was abortion rights in the state. During the rally, she said that if she were president, she would require the Department of Justice to review any state law restriction abortion access “if it’s coming from a state that has a history of limiting those rights.” This way, the US Government could make sure that such laws were constitutional before going into effect and prevent states like Alabama from continually trying to challenge established precedent that has legalized abortion through cases like Roe v. Wade.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.al.com/news/2019/06/kamala-harris-in-alabama-legitimate-fear-that-women-will-die-from-abortion-ban.html|title=Kamala Harris in Alabama: ‘Legitimate fear’ that women will die from abortion ban|last=Koplowitz|first=Howard|date=2019-06-08|website=al.com|language=en-US|access-date=2019-06-08}}</ref>
